| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts the Round Tower of Windsor Castle, rendered in fine detail with battlements, arched windows, and the Royal Standard flying from the flagpole above. Surmounting the tower is the Imperial State Crown, shown with cross pattée, arches, and jewelled band. The tower and crown are framed by an ornate wreath of oak branches bearing acorns and leaves, crossed at the base. The commemorative legend CENTENARY OF THE HOUSE OF WINDSOR arcs around the upper field, with the date 2017 and the engraver's initials TN appearing in the lower field. The design, by Timothy Noad, celebrates the centenary of the adoption of the Windsor name by the British Royal Family in 1917. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Piedfort production at the Royal Mint was revived in 1982 after a gap of several centuries, initially as collector pieces tied to the annual proof sets. By 2017 the format had become a fixture of commemorative programs, struck at twice the standard coin thickness from the same dies — which means any design imperfection present on the standard issue is simply more pronounced here.
The House of Windsor designation itself dates to a 1917 royal proclamation by George V, who changed the family name from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha under pressure of wartime anti-German sentiment.
